Article Abstract

A structural alteration in copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is one of the common features caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-linked mutations. Although a large number of SOD1 variants have been reported in ALS patients, the detailed structural properties of each variant are not well summarized. We present SoDCoD, a database of superoxide dismutase conformational diversity, collecting our comprehensive biochemical analyses of the structural changes in SOD1 caused by ALS-linked gene mutations and other perturbations. SoDCoD version 1.0 contains information about the properties of 188 types of SOD1 mutants, including structural changes and their binding to Derlin-1, as well as a set of genes contributing to the proteostasis of mutant-like wild-type SOD1. This database provides valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of ALS, particularly by targeting conformational alterations in SOD1.

Klotho attenuates D-galactose-induced cardiac aging through the ROS/NLRP3/pyroptosis pathway.

J Mol Cell Cardiol

September 2025

Department of Cardiology, First School of Clinical Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University, 19 Nonglinxia Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou 510080, PR China; Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Bioactive Substances, Guangdong Pharmaceutical Uni

Objective: Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to cardiac aging progression. Klotho, a recognised anti-aging protein, exerts protective effects against cardiac aging. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the protective effects of Klotho on D-galactose (D-gal)-induced cardiac aging and the underlying mechanisms.

In this edition of Gene's "Editor's Corner" we summarize the complex interactions of different molecular mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The topic is relevant, as the therapeutic options for HIE are limited, it is important to have as much knowledge as possible about the molecular processes underlying the disease. In the recent issue of Gene (Gene 952, 2025, 149363), Wang et al.

This study investigated whether, 24 hours after the exercise-induced muscle damage protocol (EIMDP), melatonin administration performed 30 minutes prior to the protocol exhibited responses about inflammatory and redox status. Control (CG), exercised (EG), and exercised+melatonin (EMG) groups were submitted to the incremental test through swimming exercise to determine the intensity of the maximal aerobic capacity (iMAC). Melatonin (10 mg kg) was administered, and after 30 min, the EIMDP was induced through swimming exercise (10 sets of 1 min with 30-s interval at 120% of iMAC, followed by 20 minutes continuous exercise at 100% of iMAC).

PUM2 Lowers HDAC9 mRNA Stability to Improve Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury through Attenuating Oxidative Stress and Promoting Autophagy.

Diabetes Metab J

September 2025

Department of Nephrology, The Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Key Lab of Kidney Disease and Blood Purification in Hunan, Changsha, China.

Background: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is the third cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury and diabetes mellitus (DM) was identified as a risk factor for CIAKI. However, the molecular mechanism underlying DM-CIAKI remains unclear, which needs further investigation.

Methods: DM-CIAKI models of mice and cells were established.

Tea tree oil attenuates diquat-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction in chickens via modulating oxidative stress and gut microbiota.

This study investigated the effects of tea tree oil (TTO) protective effects against diquat (DIQ)-induced toxicity in chickens. 240 one-day-old Hy-Line W-36 laying chickens randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups: 1) chickens fed a basal diet and 2) chickens fed a diet supplemented with 200 ppm TTO. At 20 days of age, half of the chickens in each group were intraperitoneally injected with DIQ (20 mg per kg body weight), whereas the other half were injected with an equivalent amount of PBS.
